i think im having that problem as well i use shell v power, but the problem is i fill it up when its just a little passed half way and when its about halfway it does about 180-200kms is that normal? i change gears at around 3000-4000 vtec once or twice? so if i did the full tank would i do about 400kms? when do you guys fill up? when its almost at empty or like 1cm off that? thakns btw my tyre pressures are good and got it serviced not long ago with new spark plugs
How many litres do you fill in for that 180-200km? THe gauge is NOT accurate. You need to fill til full, drive a few hundred kms and then fill back up to full. The divide litres by distance x 100 and you get L/100km.
would it effect it so much i'd only get 330-350 a tank?
Well it depends if you use it excessively or not. For instance, have you ever notice that at idle with the A/C on, your idle rpm is below normal/or you can say that it is idling substantially "rougher" than without A/C (No, im not talking bout the A/C fan noise...)
With the A/C on your power slightly diminishes and it takes more to do what you want it to do...i find on my 5R that shifting is not as smooth when I have A/C on as otherwise (and I can plainly say that my car is in good condition and have always been serviced regularly with only 70k kms so no reason arguing that theres something wrong with my car).
Test it out and you will notice it - dont have your music on and i guarantee you will notice the difference, especially for us where we can hear everything anyway...lol...Regardless tho, shouldnt affect it by that much that you get 150+kms less that normal...probably a combination for you - tyre pressure + A/C + Vtec + shift at higher rpm + etcetc
i think it depends on where you drive the car.... mine is 02 DC5R, and i live in traffic jammed city.... 1 tank only last for 287-290 if I am lucky and it only drinks 95 RON fuel. different story if i drive out of the city on freeway. i tank can last up to 450 Km... huge difference right?
if your car is consuming too much petrol than usual i suggest next time you fill up your car with premium fuel add a bottle of 'injector cleaner' to your tank it wont hurt and chances are it'll resolve your problem

But u live in jakarta? its a lot different...lol...everyday macet and A/C is on all the time
Tire pressure, 32 psi but for me i like 34psi. Myabe cus you have windows down which causes drag. Take out the spare tire its 15kgs makes a abit of a difference and lose some weight lol
